South East Orangeries / The Hudson Group

Options
Hi

Has anyone had any dealing with either:

South East Orangeries
The Hudson Group
Hudson Building Contractors

...for any building work? I was wondering if our miserable experience is just standard service?

Thanks in advance

  • We are having a really bad experience with them

    What's your story?
  • Hi Epsom01

    Massive failure to deliver on an epic scale - what about you? Please PM me if you can. I am guessing you are in the surrey area from your user name. We would like to make sure nobody makes the same mistake we have.

    Just to re-iterate:

    South East Orangeries
    Hudson Building Contractors

    Both based in sevenoaks.

    Sorry it's taken so long to reply.

    Indeed we also heard that South East Orangeries, Keith Alan Perkins, has ceased trading.
    The Administrators meeting will be held in a couple of weeks.
    They knew their company was no longer viable but for months continued to take money off customers (tens of thousands) for deposits for work, windows, doors, lantern roofs etc. which they had no intention of ever providing.
    We have no idea where all our money is gone but we do know that we will never see a penny of it back from Keith Perkins.
    The lies were bare faced.
    Keith Alan Perkins has already set up with 'Alltask Limited' Rochester and is continuing to do what he seems best at...

    AVIOD EVER HAVING DEALINGS WITH KEITH PERKINS WHATEVER HIS COMPANY MAY BE CALLED

    Sorry to hear about your difficulties. Creditors who have paid by credit card can apply to their cc compnay for a charge back. I suspect most people will have piad by cheque however.

    It is an offence to continue trading whilst knowingly insolvent. You may wish to report Keith Alan Perkins to the Insolvency Service for investigation. The liquidator may do this anyway when he has completed his report, but you could do it as well.

    It may be worth contacting the local press too.
  • Thanks for the responses - although I have not been told officially I also heard they are liquidation along with Hudson Building Contractors (same outfit etc?). Hopefully the fact the served them notice before the liquidation appeared on companies house might allow us to make a clean break.

    In the intersts of SEO, and I am referring to Search Engine Optimisation here, it was indeed Keith Perkins a.k.a. Keith Alan Perkins

    Is that Alltask Ltd ?

    Is that the same as http://www.build.co.uk/company_249425.htm ?

    And this http://www.companycheck.co.uk/company/02689988 ?

    They all seem a little to credible?
